* Have your NAR number or your name on the outside, large
and clear enough that the contest officials can easily read it. Teams must use
the Team number or name. USMRSC 9.4

* Have been constructed by yourself or by one or more
members of your Team. You may not enter Ready-To-Fly rockets (no construction
required) in NAR sanctioned competition. USMRSC 9.9

Know the rules

Your having a grasp of the bigger picture can increase your
enjoyment of NAR competition. You can read the Pink Book Lite to see only
the rules for competitors, not for Contest Directors or other contest
officials. Read the full USMRSC (Pink Book) to see all the rules.

* In Boost Glider Duration Competition you want to achieve
the longest possible flight duration for a model rocket that returns to the
ground in stable, gliding flight. Only the gliding portion is timed. USMRSC 36.1

Are There Any Special Considerations?

* The gliding surfaces (wings) must be made of rigid materials.
The wings can move and/or flex. The wings can consist of many pieces as long as
each piece is rigid. USMRSC
36.1

* If your entry is staged, the gliding portion must be
attached to the top stage and must stay attached until the top stage burns out.
USMRSC 4.6, 4.8, 10.3 and36.1

* If your entry is clustered or staged, enough motors must
ignite for it to meet the impulse class requirements or the flight will not be
official. USMRSC 4.6,
4.8, 10.3
and36.1

Of the kits available by mail order, the Edmonds Aerospace
Deltie (see vendor list below) is the best combination of ease of construction
and efficient glide. It almost always requires NO trimming before first flight.
I’ve seen a Deltie glide away on a 1/2A motor at Johnson Space Center. Edmonds
also has larger gliders for B, C and D motors. ASP carries the Edmonds line:
